From 27th Avenue
East to Bayfront Festival Park this 4.2 mile pathway named the Duluth
Lakewalk traces the shore of Lake Superior, fronting the Duluth
downtown area. Along the way you can take in the beauty of Lake
Superior and the fascinating lure of a working port with foreign
and domestic vessels sailing nearby. At the western end are the
Duluth Entertainment Convention Center complex (including the Omnimax
and Duluth 10 movie theaters), the Great Lakes Aquarium and the
Bayfront Festival Park, where hot tunes sound out on cool summer
nights. In-between are the Canal Park entertainment district, the
icon Aerial Lift Bridge, and sculptures representing Duluth and
its sister cities in Sweden, Russia and Japan. As you continue east
you will pass the Northland Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Memorials,
Leif Erickson Park and the Rose Garden with 2000 rose bushes of
some 99 varieties and numerous trees, shrubs and other flowers.
